he CW went heavily after pre-sold titles in its pilot choices today, greenlighting Arrow, based on the DC Comics book Green Arrow; an adaptation of Candace Bushnell’s novel The Carrie Diaries, a prequel to Sex And The City; and a reboot of the 1980s series Beauty And The Beast. The three join the first pilot ordered by the CW this season, mystery drama Cult.Arrow is described as a modern retelling of the story of DC Comics character Green Arrow. The project, from Berlanti Prods and Warner Bros TV, was written by Andrew Kreisberg (Warehouse 13) and Marc Guggenheim based on a story by Greg Berlanti and Guggenheim. The three are credited as writers/executive producers on the pilot. David Nutter is expected to direct. Justin Hartley, who played the character on the CW’s Smallville for several seasons, is not attached to the new project. Arrow marks the second pilot order for Berlanti and Guggenheim this season along with the Fox legal drama Guilty, written by Guggenheim and executive produced by him and Berlanti.

I hope that they include some familiar faces from Green Arrow's comics like Count Vertigo, Black Hand, Black Canary, Speedy and other DC characters apart from some characters they have made up for the series.

Well I still say for at least first season just focus on ollie himself. So we can big up his character there. And hold out on dinah/speedys to a second season. And counting on direction of the show like will it be about social issues/corp greed stuff. We can still to regular crooks, twisted politicans, and stuff like that. Then maybe pop in 2 or 3 known baddies. Maybe make at least one top villain of his be a reourring character(ie his lex luthor).

I'm all for a well done Green Arrow series, but I'm not going to assume anything until it's officially picked up.

On some level, I still wished Warner Bros. had gone ahead with "Super Max". It wasn't perfect by any means, but it at least managed to handle Oliver Queen with a lot more respect than what happened in the later seasons of Smallville. I personally liked how the show handled the character, when he was strictly at guest star status.

I'm mixed on the CW having the show, but maybe they'll prove me wrong.

From the writers of Green Lantern....if that doesn't say run and hide, I don't know what will.

Honestly I've read the cast sides for this show and it sounds HORRIBLE. Plus the dude they have as Ollie can't act so..I guess I'll pass.

This argument doesn't make any sense. That's like saying Sam Raimi is a bad director cuz he messed up Spidey 3. And like webhead mentioned, much like GL, they messed S3 because of the studio's bullcrap. I'm gonna give the show a chance, I never pass judgment on something before I've seen the final product.

Totally there was alot of problems with gl on a production stance then it was with the script. Plus every great writer/producer/direct has a few fumbles and most can turn around and make next project all the better. Plus also we dont know who else is invovled with the production and for the matter if all the producers/writers if it goes to series will stay on and be showrunners or move onto other projects and other folks come in. One plus though with david nutter as director it should look and be directed well and he has one hell of a track record for pilots going to series.

Still think the best time to have intro'd a GA series was five years ago as a spinoff of the SV character (before he got bogged down with unnecessary baggage coughChloecough). I hope it's a good show, but I'm not holding my breath.

Looks good I hope the show is good and not a missed oppurtunity like Wonder Woman (still cant believe they screwed that one up). I also hope the show is dark and looking at the above image it looks like it may just be.
